Once you have installed opHA and updated the configurations, you can add Customers, which could be internal or external customers, e.g. a business unit could be a customer if you are an IT department or another company is your customer if you are a service provider. Then assign devices to customers.

Configuration Required
The only configuration required is to add the groups of devices to the Customer or BusinessService tables. This is for the authorisation, so the groups for a customer are known and prevents viewing by unauthorised people. This can be done through the GUI, by editing the groups for a Customer in the Customer Table, "System -> Customers", then edit the Customer, select the required groups for that customer.
Conclusion
With the opHA module you will be able consolidate views of your entire IT infrastructure from all NMIS systems and have a single pane of glass displaying devices by functional or business views.
